Course it does, it is un-Australian to get a perfect score in anything except sport:D

And from a related Wiki page:

Australia is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its reigning monarch since February 6, 1952. As such she is Australia's Sovereign and officially called Queen of Australia. The Australian monarch, besides reigning in Australia, separately serves as monarch for each of fifteen other countries, which are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. This developed from the former colonial relationship of these countries to Britain, but they are now independent and the monarchy of each is legally distinct.

And also:

Contrary to common misconception,<SUP class="noprint Template-Fact">[citation needed]</SUP> Australians do not pay any money to the Queen, either for personal income or to support the royal residences outside of Australia. Only when the Queen is in Australia, or acting abroad as Queen of Australia, does any Australian government support her in the performance of her duties.

But I'd give you 15 cos I think it was 1788, I don't know the first prime minister so I can't give you a mark for it, and I think there are 5 states (QLD, NSW, VIC, WA, TAS - ACT and NT are territories not states)
